    just got to level 4 in this game. my honest review; as someone that isn't really into Rhythm games....its VERY good. 9.5/10. It combines rhythm gaming with the feeling of racing and has bosses, it has just a base number of moves but the physics is clean and it feels great, the music and sound design it top notch throughout and the game introduces enough variation in design to stay interesting.

    ***** From what I hear, the VR experience wildly differs for each individual. Some people can't play anything for more than 15 minutes, others can play the craziest stuff for hours and nothing happens to them. My head starts to hurt after about 30 minutes of watching regular Thumper, so I don't think the VR version would work for me personally. :-/

Thumper was top listed there with a 9/superb. googling for thumper gameplay gave me your march 4 2015 vid which already looked iteresting and autoplay gave me this one as next. So... I watched and made these conclusions 1: looks awesome 2: I really hope more tracks are included 3: in all it's "simplicity it lookds dang hard to play 4: I must have this (placed on wishlist already of course, no funds for a new game atm) will watch some more vids (a lvl 9 vid is up next in autoplay) but it seems that 9 is well deserved, this is "controller is a must" game I assume?
